Chris,
Actually, we do know there were 700 ballots returned, as stated. If
everybody voted for the maximum number of 3, that would be 2100. The total
votes case totals to 2040. The 60 votes difference represents people voting
for fewer candidates, as you mentioned.
73s,
Alan
WA4SCA

We don't know that there were 700 ballots returned as you didn't have to
vote for 3. You could have only voted for 1 or 2.

WEATHER POSTPONES SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR FERRY FLIGHT TO SEPT. 18
WASHINGTON -- NASA's planned ferry flight of space shuttle Endeavour
atop the 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) has been postponed until
Tuesday, Sept. 18 due to an unfavorable weather forecast for Monday,
Sept. 17.
To ensure a safe flight for Endeavour and the SCA, NASA managers, in
consultation with the California Science Center, decided Sunday to
delay the flight because of inclement weather predicted along the
flight path between Houston and NASA's Kennedy Space Center, where
the flight will originate.
On Oct. 11, 2011, NASA transferred title and ownership of Endeavour to
the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Despite the one-day
delayed departure from Kennedy, NASA still plans to transport
Endeavour to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) by Thursday,
Sept. 20.
In cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration, the SCA is
scheduled to conduct low-level flyovers at about 1,500 feet above
locations along the planned flight path. The exact timing and path of
the ferry flight will depend on weather conditions and operational
constraints. Some planned flyovers or stopovers could be delayed or
cancelled. If the ferry flight is postponed again, an additional
advisory will be issued.
At sunrise on Sept. 18, the SCA and Endeavour will depart Kennedy's
Shuttle Landing Facility and perform a flyover of various areas of
the Space Coast, including Kennedy, the Kennedy Space Center Visitor
Complex, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Patrick Air Force Base.
The aircraft will fly west and conduct low flyovers of NASA's Stennis
Space Center in Mississippi and the agency's Michoud Assembly
Facility in New Orleans. As it arrives over the Texas Gulf Coast
area, the SCA will perform low flyovers above various areas of
Houston and Clear Lake before landing at Ellington Field near NASA's
Johnson Space Center.
At sunrise on Wednesday, Sept. 19, the aircraft will depart Houston,
make a refueling stop at Biggs Army Airfield in El Paso, Texas, and
conduct low-level flyovers of White Sands Test Facility near Las
Cruces, N.M., and NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air
Force Base in California, before landing around mid-day at Dryden.
On the morning of Sept. 20, the SCA and Endeavour will take off from
Dryden and perform a low-level flyover of northern California,
passing near NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif.,
and various landmarks in multiple cities, including Sacramento and
San Francisco. The aircraft also will conduct a flyover of many Los
Angeles sites before landing about 11 a.m. PDT at LAX.
Social media users are encouraged to share their Endeavour sightings
using the hashtags #spottheshuttle and #OV105, Endeavour's orbiter
vehicle designation.
After arrival at LAX, Endeavour will be removed from the SCA and spend
a few weeks at a United Airlines hangar undergoing preparations for
transport and display. Endeavour then will travel through Inglewood
and Los Angeles city streets on a 12-mile journey from the airport to
the science center, arriving in the evening on Oct. 13.
Beginning Oct. 30, the shuttle will be on display in the science
center's Samuel Oschin Space Shuttle Endeavour Display Pavilion,
embarking on its new mission to commemorate past achievements in
space and educate and inspire future generations of explorers.
Endeavour completed 25 missions, spent 299 days in orbit, and orbited
Earth 4,671 times while traveling 122,883,151 miles.

Patrick,
Thanks very much to you and the other stations who called me during the
Demo!
It was a warm day, we had 34C here. We operated on the SO-50 and AO-27
passes from the sea walk of my city. The 1757z SO-50 pass was easy to work
and we had several contacts on it. Despite the 1919z AO-27 pass was very
crowed, we had some contacts also.
A lot of hams and satellite enthusiast attended the Demo. I answered several
questions and everybody was excited listening for the satellites.
The Setup used for this satellite operation is what I regularly use when
operating portable. A mobile 2m FM radio with a homebrew 70cm/2m down
converter inside, with a strap around my neck. The 2m Kenwood TK-270 Handie
Talkie for transmitting, a 12V 7AH battery into a backpack to power up
everything , plus digital MP3 recorder to log the contacts. I hold the HT in
one hand and the homebrew Arrow Antenna with a homebrew preamplifier with
the other hand.
Tonight, we have another question/answer session on our local repeater. I am
truly sure that a new HAMSAT era is growing in my country!
73!
Hector, CO6CBF

The 16:9 HD video of the AMSAT-DL update given by Peter Guelzow DB2OS can be
downloaded from
http://www.batc.tv/vod/AMSAT%20session%204.flv
Alternatively it can be viewed online by following these steps:
- Go to http://www.batc.tv/
- Click on "Film Archive"
- Select "AMSAT 2012" in the Category box and click on Select Category
- Select "04 - AMSAT-DL" in the Stream box and click on Select Stream
- Click the play button on the video player window
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the volunteers, not only from
the British Amateur Television Club (BATC) but also those who where
attending the Colloquium and generously gave up their time there to operate
the various bits of video/audio equipment and helped provide such a
wonderful video streaming service during the event. BATC volunteers managed
to upload the completed videos to the Film Archive in record time enabling
those who'd missed the live streaming to catch up on each days presentations.
BATC provided either 3 or 4 cameras, I forget how many, and a massive amount
of additional equipment, I dread to think what the cost of all that
equipment must have been.
